We have the Blubrry plugin on our self-hosted WordPress site. And get the "Can’t download episodes from your feed." error when trying to validate.
Our podcast feed is: http://fbcbridgeport.org/feed/podcast/
I've gone through some discussions here and on Blubrry's site with not luck. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
The URL of your top media file is
http://fbcbridgeport.org/wp-content/uploads/sermonaudio/building a heritage - sam schwenk.mp3
You are not allowed spaces in a URL, so iTunes is seeing the URL as ending at the first space and thus it obviously doesn't work. You will need to go through all the episodes and rename the files to remove the spaces - the usual practice is to substitute underscores - and then amend the feed to match. You could get away with simply amending the feed to enter the code %20 in place of each space: that will work (and there is less to do), but it's bad practice to have spaces in your filenames anyway, so it's up to you. But you need to do one or the other or you won't get anywhere.
As an old techie myself that makes perfect sense. Personally I'm OCD with that but thanks to many operating environments today it's become common practice with the younger generation. 😁 I will try that and confirm. Thanks for the quick reply!
